Under what circumstance must a salon apply for a new license?

A salon must apply for a new license when there is a change of ownership because licensing is directly tied to the individual or entity that owns and operates the salon. Each owner is responsible for ensuring compliance with state regulations and maintaining standards within the salon. This requirement helps ensure that new owners uphold the necessary qualifications and practices that are consistent with the licensing standards set by regulatory bodies.

Maintaining accurate records of ownership helps regulatory agencies monitor compliance and intervene if necessary, ensuring that clients receive safe and high-quality services. Changes like a salon’s name or location might involve other administrative updates, but they do not necessitate a completely new license in the same way that a change of ownership does.
